Research

The Rushlight Club's reason for being is to study and research lighting devices. Over the years it has developed an impressive cumulative body of knowledge:

• The Rushlight, a quarterly publication, has been published continuously since 1934. Two cumulative indexes track nearly 3500 pages of scholarly research and patent information as well as reproductions of lighting advertising and reviews of books.
• Members share their own personal knowledge and resources, through discussion at meetings, snail mail exchange, email exchange, and informal get-togethers.
• The Rushlight Club has published Early Lighting, a pictorial overview of lighting devices throughout history.
• The Club reprints booklets of historical interest, and often offers books on lighting at a discount to members.

Bibliography lists books offering a good start for your lighting research.

Here are some articles taken from The Rushlight. All of these articles are copyrighted and may not be reprinted or used without permission from The Rushlight Club.
